Wang Zheng knew that if he wanted to finish the battle quickly, he would still have to rely on the attack of this spirit energy to solve the problem.

Upon hearing Xu Zhihong's battle plan, Wang Zheng immediately understood his own role.

Seeing the old man's expectant eyes, he could only reluctantly agree. If the [Nine Yin Candlelight] really didn't work, he would kill him manually.

Anyway, since this poisonous fang bone knife is so sharp and these insects are quite large, I'll deal with them as soon as possible and then enter the city.

Moreover, Wang Zheng couldn't rush things now, because he had no idea which direction Chu Tianxing had gone after leading the demon king away.

The information from Chuncheng was vague; they only said he left through the east gate, but they didn't know where he went after leaving the city. Baoshan doesn't have any city walls; it's a very interconnected area. Who knows where Old Man Chu went after leaving the city gate?

They are all extraordinary beings, demon kings, and they can fly!

Furthermore, being surrounded and intercepted by a group of demon kings, who knows if they will be forced to change direction again.

Therefore, Wang Zheng also needs to find the soldiers or survivors who were in the city from the beginning, preferably near the East Gate, and ask for directions before going to find them.

Otherwise, would Wang Zheng be expected to wander around Yunnan, a region spanning 800,000 square kilometers (in reality, it's square kilometers), like a headless fly searching for something?

Without any direction or communication like that of the military region, was I supposed to rely solely on luck?

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng no longer hesitated and said directly to Xu Zhihong:

"Commander Xu, tell everyone to stop for now, I'll take over."

Hearing that Wang Zheng agreed to stay and help carry it, Xu Zhihong was overjoyed and immediately gave the instructions, asking how he needed to cooperate.

He is a native of Yunnan and has served in the military region of Kunming for decades.

Although the deputy division commanders under him had already advanced to the extraordinary level and were already on their way to the rescue, while he himself was still stuck in the same place and was often teased by his underlings for it, he didn't care at all.

The older generation of soldiers were like that, they valued a spirit of dedication. As long as the soldiers they trained were good, their military region was good, and their country was prosperous, that was enough.

Xu Zhihong was injured in battles when he was young, which damaged his very essence. He knew that he probably wouldn't have the luck to advance to the extraordinary level in this lifetime.

Putting aside the matter of his transformation into a mortal, if it weren't for his physical prowess, he would have already been halfway to the brink of death.

If he could exchange his life for the disappearance of these elemental scarabs, Xu Zhihong would definitely do it without hesitation, but unfortunately, he is also an elemental awakener.

I had already tried before, and even with the combined power of dozens of A-level Awakened, I couldn't break through the insects' defenses. In the end, I could only patiently wait for rescue.

After all, the difference in numbers is too great.

But if you asked him to lead his ten thousand men in a direct assault, he would be a thousand times unwilling.

The vast majority of the soldiers under his command were personally selected and carefully trained by him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that most of the lower-ranking soldiers are only E-level or D-level. You should know that the entire Yunnan province is composed of divisions made up of Awakened Ones. There is no other like it.

Moreover, is it really that easy for awakened beings to advance to the next level?

Many people are stuck at 799 spiritual energy level their whole lives, torturing themselves like crazy, but their physical fitness doesn't improve at all.

Is the country stupid?

If you can build up a team of A-level or superhuman individuals by using spiritual energy crystals, who wouldn't want to do that?

But in this era, people are born with varying degrees of talent and are divided into different classes.

Who wouldn't want to be a superior person, arrogant, and full of sarcasm?

Who is born wanting to be a "small-town exam taker"?

It's all just a trick of fate.

Even so, looking at the whole of Kunming, or even the whole of Yunnan Province, if you go out and say that you are a soldier of the 1031st Division, which comrade-in-arms won't give you a thumbs up and say "Awesome".

Although soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, given the current situation in Baoshan City, it would be better to call for reinforcements than to rush in and become the third trapped army.

Moreover, Xu Zhihong genuinely couldn't bear to see these children go to their deaths.

Otherwise, how could a man in his sixties, half-buried in the ground, a senior division commander, a veteran colonel, have the nerve to shamelessly ask a lieutenant from another military region for help?

What's more, the other party is only a 17-year-old child!

Does he really think Xu Zhihong has no pride?

However, it was precisely because of his sincere devotion to his soldiers that he moved Wang Zheng.

Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Wang Zheng knew that the man also felt sorry for the soldiers on the front lines. He originally wanted some spiritual energy crystals, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

After they finish clearing out these insects, they still have to clean up the entire city. They have an army of 10,000, and they don't know if the supplies they brought during the forced march will be enough.

Even if they knew the other side had storage equipment, this was already their third wave of reinforcements, and they also had to carry various logistical support supplies. In terms of spiritual energy crystals alone, they might not have that many.

After all, for the military region, the cost of the Rejuvenation Potion is lower, and the speed of energy recovery is not too slow. Moreover, low-level soldiers do not need to use spiritual energy crystals to recover.

Wang Zheng thought that since the upper limit of spiritual energy was still sufficient for the time being, he might as well be generous one more time.

If someone gives me a peach, I will repay them with a plum.

Consider it an advance payment of interest on the spiritual crystals lent to me by the military region.
